The DEAD-box RNA Helicase RH50 Is a 23S-4.5S rRNA Maturation Factor that Functionally Overlaps with the Plastid Signaling Factor GUN1

DEAD-box RNA helicases (DBRHs) modulate RNA secondary structure, allowing RNA molecules to adopt the conformations required for interaction with their target proteins. RH50 is a chloroplast-located ...

New Insights into the Prevention of Staphylococcal Infections and Toxic Shock Syndrome

Antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis are known to have some degree of antivirulence effects. Macrolides bind reversibly to 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) of the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosome ...
